Curly white and black dogs.

Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the finished painting.

It took 60 photos to get just these two.

The white dog, Alphie, needs far more colour in his coat and beard.

These curls have posed quite a challenge.

Rosy's black curls were formed from dull watercolour with shiny black acrylic 

and with a mix of sparkly grey that no longer sparkles.

The result is that the painting changes with the light.

In the dark you cannot see Ruby's eyes 

and as you walk past her the light on the curls 'moves' as you pass.

The gold background brings Alphie forward from the flat background 

and it shines in electric light.

Now that Alphie has more dirty salmon pinks in his coat and a darker bears and ears -

(she didn't want the dried blood red of these beards) 

he looks good - in my opinion- with the gold background.

While he has received complements, he doesn't really work for me,

oh well, its only a piece of paper and it was an interesting painting him.

I may try again one day - we'll see.

Zeus in watercolours.

My paining of Zeus quite simply didn't work out as I intended to try a completely new style!
When I use watercolours I basically paint 'ever' hair but I intended to try copy the style below.

Obviously I failed :) I ended up painting layers of wet on dry
as each new area painted meant that he previous areas were the wrong colour
I then went over the lot with one of those brushed for painting hairs or grasses.
I'm not happy with my colours so tomorrow I might just apply another layer.

"Big Five" refers to 5 African animals: lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo.

Ballerina in acrylics

This painting had more than my usual range of 'mistakes' 

and that explains why she is pale in this photograph and not Wedgwood blue.

Even so, she is rather graceful.

Ballerinas in oil, acrylic ink and pastel

Oil painting of a ballet dancer in a lovely graceful pose

I seem to favor the impressionistic painting methods using painter's knife. 

May be that is the reason I seem to like Andre Kohn's paintings. 

This painting is from a picture of a lovely ballet dancer 

that I used to paint in an impressionistic style that Andre uses.
Something about ballet dancers, they seem to float in the air! It is a pleasure to watch them dance.

This is a series to provide artist conceptions of various popular sports. We've already done thoroughbred racing, so this one deals with four different equestrian sports -- polo. fox hunting, rodeo, and jumpers. Music here is "Prelude No. 3 in A," by Heitor Villa-Lobos.

It took me ages to draw this in the grid lines because I kept miscounting the squares :)

It's a pity the gold sky is not apparent.

'Tiffany' iris

The shapes of this iris are outlines like Tiffany glass.
I used perlescent liquid acrylic, a shiny silver blue and shiny silver green for the outlines.
I also brushed the shine over some areas that catch the light as you move past the painting.

Cows at sunset.

While my drawing is very poor, I was caring for my father at the time
and this painting of cows pleased my father's farmer's mind.
He died a couple of weeks ago and so this painting takes on a special meaning for me.

LeRoy Neiman's Boats

The American sports painter Leroy Neiman is best known for his brilliant colors and his frenetic energy. Born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, probably in 1927 (though some sources say 1921), he and his mother were abandoned by his father at an early age, so growing up was difficult. He studied art in Chicago, and when Playboy got its start in 1953, Neiman's career took off. Playboy has featured many of his sports and leisure paintings over the years, and he now grosses more than $10 million a year for his paintings and serigraphs. His original paintings go for up to $500,000 each. Here are a few of his boating pictures, typical of his leisure art.

Welcome to William Jarvis

This portrait was taken from a small photograph on the Race Card – this is a small booklet that describes the racing and other interesting facts.

The portrait took me hours and I still have to go back in 

and correct the ‘deliberate’ mistake.

He has trained from the historic Phantom House Stables for over 20 years and has enjoyed hundreds of winners, including some at the highest level.

I only ever met Nigel once in Ely Cathedral grounds and again on the market there.
I hope he eventually received the original and that life is good for him.
Thanks, Nigel. Whenever I look at this portrait I think of our conversations.

Grow Painting (Speed Watercolor Painting)

California artist Aaron Smith 

paints men from a bad-ass neo-dandy beardo brigade from beyond time.

Artist Statement
The Victorian/Edwardian eras have always captured my attention. For years I've collected vintage photographs of men of the period. These men for me represent a masculine ideal, if largely a constructed one. Their bearded faces and distinguished attire are spectacular, while their stiff poses and serious expressions belie a certain vulnerability. My recent decision to translate these small colorless photographs into monumental, expressionist portraits is an attempt to ruminate on these contradictions. I also want to draw parallels between the rituals of initiation found in western culture and those practiced in tribal cultures by painting these gentlemen with colors inspired by Bird-of-Paradise and the extravagantly decorated Huli Wigmen of Papua New Guinea.

Grow Painting (Speed Watercolor Painting)

"Grow" is a watercolor painting on paper by Allison Maletz. 

The "Beardsong (Ode to A Beard)" was written by Hannah Rockcliffe and Sophie Madeleine, Performed by Rocky and Balls. They own this song. I am not trying to sell this song, or video.

Dustin Brown, Tennis Player.

This is my first portrait using watercolour paints and gold ink.

I couldn't attempt all that flying hair and wanted to depict the energy

for such an energetic and powerful game.

How To Draw A Rasta By Stefano Romano

This is a how to draw a rasta hope you like it and enjoy it and get some tips :)

Raedwald's ceremonial helmet at Sutton Hoo.

The helmet I’ve painted is based on the remains of Rædwald, the ruler of the East Angles which is displayed at Sutton Hoo.
Mine has very many colours behind the metal; this is because I wanted to convey the hopes and fears and the personal and political aspirations of warfare and ceremony.

Interestingly the publicity photograph I copied does not look like the helmet shown
in other publications, pity I can't draw nicely but I think it depicts a certain sadness.
